i have really enjoyed reading your blog!!! I guess you like moose tracks... I always wonder what my kids think about me.

That's really cute! I totally picture them all saying those very things. It's really inspiring that they recognize you and Mike's mutual love, your love for them individually and their admiration of you for raising them in a godly way! I hope my kids say the same things when they're a few years older.

LOLOL! Yeah, I'm with Suzanne on the Moose Tracks thing. Clearly, someone has a love for the stuff.

But, really, I laughed the whole way through! Like the fact that you're similar because you both have noses, hands, body, etc. :) And how high of a compliment that you'll be famous for being a good wife. I think he might be right on that one.

Oh - Oh My Face hurts from smileing. Children can be so very honest. It tells us a lot. Thank you for sharing.

I love it! You have a lot to be proud of, they gave great answers.

That was a really fun post. I love the fact that most of their answers revolved around Moose Tracks (and one about Cold Stone Creamery). It is really sweet that they recognize your love for them and the way you and Mike love each other. The disc golf commented cracked me up too. When you are up for it, let me know and we'll walk while the guys play...I've been going to the park and walking lately.

I love reading these, especially from people with children of different ages like yours. I too was laughing out loud at your apparent love for Moose Tracks! :)

WHAT are Moose Tracks????

Erin said...

Moose Tracks is an ice cream flavor - vanilla, hard fudge, and peanut butter cups... yum! The funny thing is, we honestly rarely eat ice cream, so I have no idea why they mentioned it so much! I eat Peanut MnMs way more often than Moose Tracks! lol! But Moose Tracks is definitely my fave ice cream, so they're not wrong ;-)
